Visual Refreshment on a Hot Summer Day

I was lucky enough to pick up this huge vintage basket for $2 at our joint neighborhood garage sale a couple of weeks ago. We were all working together to earn “participation points” toward sending our soon-to-be 8th graders to Washington D.C. next year. We were lucky to be able to raise money with friends and then had a fantastic pool party and barbeque afterward. Now that the heat has really set in, I love the look of the fresh, cool fruit in this old basket. Here’s to friends, old and new and bargains too!
